education. it used to be that education was the pride of the and it was certainly the pride of many states like california. i was recently talking to someone who was a leader of a state, and we were talking about poverty. and as he listened to safety net programs for the poor, he mentioned public schools. it really caught me. i said, public schools, that's become a safety net program? i thought public schools were for everybody. but as they have become associated with people who are poor and of color, we are abandoning the public school education. that is about race. and we have taken men who are important for community, and we've created basically a legacy of absence in communities by pulling the men out and putting them in prison. in numbers that are unprecedented. our rate in this country is the largest in the entire world. and the disproportionate incarceration of black men in particular but a growing number of latino men absolutely makes the point that race is a driver there. race has becom

those nonlatino whites are more wealthy and more educated than the rest of the voting age population in the state of california. you can see african-americans are more or less at parity in their population. what we know from 50 years of political behavior research and political science is that socioeconomic status is the greatest predictor of how you're going to vote. that doesn't completely work with african-americans. many people attribute this to the history of the fight for voting rights and the ways in which that community voting has different value attached to it. so, therefore, people vote more than you would expect given other structural constraints. latinos and asian-americans are significantly underrepresented in this population. some of that underrepresentation is because of the large noncitizen populations in those groups. so among latinos it's about 40%. among asian-americans more or less 50% folks who are voting age are noncitizens and unable to participate in politics.

we have been educating our children in other areas. at the same time, the immigration laws have made it impossible to fill the void with foreign legal workers. despite the need for workers on a permanent basis, our immigration laws have made 5,000 green cards available per year for people without bachelor's degrees. that is 5,000 per year to be shared by landscapers and hotels and many other industries who hire such workers. the temporary program has not done the job. any employer will say the program is slow for fast-moving harve harvests. a recent survey found 72% of the users reported that their workers arrived 22 days on average after the date of need. it is no surprise that the program is used so sparingly to the high water mark of 54,000 visas in 2008. is it any wonder? the government essentially left farmer was no choice but to hire undocumented workers and everyone, including the government, looked the other way as they filled the jobs that our country needed filled. what do we do now? do we accept responsibility for creating t
